We are convinced that the exchange of knowledge at national and international levels fosters fruitful discussions and can take research to the next level.
That is why we prioritize (research-related) collaboration and the exchange of knowledge within our university, in Germany, Europe, and beyond.
Industry Collaboration
We place great importance on collaborating with industry to collect data and translate our academic research into solutions for real-world challenges.
As a result, we have built a strong network and established close partnerships with companies, startups, and other stakeholders, particularly in the healthcare sector. We understand the language of patients, healthcare professionals, and innovators, and act as a bridge between these three groups. We regularly conduct research in hospitals and outpatient facilities.
Collaboration may include: theses, applied research and data science projects, consulting, lectures, workshops, or training sessions.
Our Research Focus Areas
Data-Driven Innovation in Healthcare:
Our research in the field of data-driven healthcare focuses on the digital transformation of the sector, which encompasses innovative forms of healthcare and novel, user-centered treatment pathways.
We are deeply engaged in the development and evaluation of digital health applications (DiGA) and analyze this emerging industry in Europe and beyond.
Data-Driven Innovation for Sustainability:
Through our work on data-driven innovation for sustainability, we aim to contribute to a better understanding of various data streams that - when analyzed holistically - provide a comprehensive view of environmental impacts.
By developing robust models, we seek to shed light on sustainability practices in the not-so-environmentally-friendly healthcare sector and in related industries, with the goal of developing solutions for a more sustainable future.
Data-Driven Innovation in Product and Service Development
Within a management and business context, our research examines the intricacies of data-driven innovation in the field of product and service development.
While technology is a central aspect, the holistic integration of data, innovative methods, user insights, and strategic planning forms the core of our studies in this area.
